Introduction
The following progam is a macro generated Excel 2000 spreadsheet that prompts the user for
data and then generateas a cusum control chart.
Definition
A Cumulative Sum (Cusum) Control Chart graphs the cumulative sum of the sample mean minus
the process mean or target value. The Cusum is very effective for detecting small shifts in a process
with rather small amounts of data.
From the first screen (Step 1) click on the "Start" button to take you to the User Input
screen. On the User Input screen (Step 2) enter the process mean and the number of standard
deviations you want your control limits to be. For example enter "3" for control limits of 3-sigma.
Click the "Next" button to proceed to the Data Entry Screen (Step 3). On the the Data Entry screen
(Step 3) press "Clear" to erase old data and then enter the averages of the samples or if the sample
size is one enter the sample value. Note the Cusum Generator can take up to 200 data entries.
When done click "Finished" to view your cusum control chart. To print your cusum control chart click
the "Print Chart" button.
The following Cusum Generator was developed by Ryan Ott and Ron Sims, students of The
Pennsylavania State University's QMM graduate program. The Cusum Generator is one of a series
of quality tools created for the FreeQuality.org website. The FreeQuality.org website was the idea of
